toteplacepot Stakes (Handicap) (D2) (3yo+,0-92)

Catterick Course Description
Sharp left handed track which suits front runners. Also suits horses with speed rather than stamina and one for course specialists!

With soft going conditions, the form book needs to be scrutinised carefully to determine those horses that can function under these conditions. Soft conditions also play into the hands of horses that can race prominently due to the fact that it is very hard to come from off the pace with cut in the ground. The draw bias indicates that in soft conditions low drawn horses have the advantage.

Analysis
Go Padero beat Azreme, Sea Storm, Kirkby's Treasure at a recent race at Musselburgh after 349 days away from the track. Go Padero's trainer Mark Johnson likes his horses to races prominently which is a positive factor for Padero. Azreme was runner up to Go Padero should also go close again today. Both of these horses have good draw positions.

Another horse under consideration is Kirby's Treasure. A course and distance winner and natural front runner this selection should be there or there abouts.
